Sheet of glass and What's a Paradygm

Hey,
With the FFA (Tom A.) consent, I added a bolt to both these routes today.

In fact, I added two to SOG but chopped one to make it fit. I was always relunctant to hop on it because of the block behind the route. I got on it the other day and didn't enjoy the fall potential. I don't think I was the only one who was relunctant to hop on it as lichen had made a serious move on that route. So I also scrubbed it. It's now a super safe modern sport slab. :mrgreen:

As for WAP, I added a bolt at the lip. I remember seeing PJ and Alex take dangerous whippers on this route as they were swinging from the bolt in the roof and nearly hitting their heads on the 'pillar' on the left of the route. Tom mentioned to me that when he did the FFA, he had a very long runner hanging at the lip so he didn't risk taking those dangerous falls. Anyways the new bolt should take the 'danger' out of the route. :mrgreen:

Thanks Tom for your openness to make these routes more sport climbing friendly!
So much rock, so little time

Falling off the lip of WAP was always unnerving, felt like a gamble each time. Maybe I'll jump back on it now :P Thanks Dom!
